Cycling in Suha krajina

We have already cycled across a great deal of Slovenia, so Marko has to put in a lot of effort to find new, unexplored terrain with little traffic. This year, we discovered Suha Krajina; with its rolling hills, green forests, and sparse car traffic, it practically invites you to explore it by bike. If you head there on a gravel or mountain bike, you have a vast network of minor roads and gravel tracks at your disposal to discover at your own pace. The experience is much the same on a road bike. While there are no long, steep climbs, the terrain bears some resemblance to the Karst region—featuring a succession of shorter, relentless ascents that add up to an impressive total elevation gain. We recommend heading there sometime and seeing it for yourself.

Climbs are not long, but can be steep and hot in summer.
